'''''Bhagavad Gita''''' (known as '''''Bhagvad Gita: Song of the Lord''''' in the United States) is a 1993 Indian [[Sanskrit]]-language [[drama film]] produced by [[T. Subbarami Reddy]] and directed by [[G. V. Iyer]]. The film is based on [[Hindu]] religious book ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'', which is part of the epic ''[[Mahabharata]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bhagavad Gita summary|url=https://sites.google.com/view/bhagavad-gita-summary/|access-date=2020-08-22|website=sites.google.com|language=en-US}}</ref><br />

==Plot==<br />
{{Main|Bhagavad Gita}}<br />
G. V. Iyer's film opens with a flowery [[Puja (Hinduism)|pooja]] performed on a [[shivalinga]], followed by an on-stage presentation of the film's cast and crew. The mayhem of the [[Kurukshetra War]] is witnessed by [[Arjuna|Prince Arjuna]] before he and his charioteer, [[Krishna]], begin the dialogue that is the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]''. Complimentary imagery accompany the verses of the ''Gita'', with many of the scenes set in nature, eventually crescendoing with Arjuna standing atop clouds among the [[Himalayas]], transitioning further up into the cosmos as imagery of the planets accompany verses sung by Krishna.<br />
